NBRP Rat Japan is supplying biological resources to interested scientists without any charge for the animals, tissues or DNAs. In return, we kindly ask to all researchers, who received animals from our repository, to submit their published results of their work in the form to the right. Please enter the information on your publications that used resources obtained from us by either submitting the PubMed ID or the relevant data into the reference form on the right side of this text.
Please refer in your paper to the NBRP-Rat resource, which you received from us. The example often used is:
・Acknowledgements
We are thankful to the National BioResource Project - Rat (http://www.anim.med.kyoto-u.ac.jp/NBR/) for providing rat strains (the strain name).
・Materials and Methods
(the strain name) rats were supplied by the National BioResource Project - Rat, Kyoto University (Kyoto, Japan).
We would be grateful if you describe NBRP Rat No. in addition to the strain name.
